EvilEgg:They charge you for fingerprinting you at the sheriff's office? That just seems wrong.

LOL.... they charge you for everything bro. The myth of jail being free room and board is just that... a myth. You arent getting out of the situation without paying thousands and thousands of dollars to different people. They like doing things like giving people who werent arrested on drug charges mandatory drug testing, so you have to pay hundreds of dollars for clean tests... while at the same time not giving drug addicts testing, because then they'd have to put you back in jail when you fail.

I knew a guy once who got a DUI 4 hours away from where he lived. The arresting county refused to transfer his probation, because then they wouldnt get the money anymore... it would go to his new probation officer. So now, without a license (DUI, remember?), he had to find a way to travel 4 hours to show up to his probation office so he could pay his fees every two weeks. He filed hardship paperwork etc.. denied denied denied.
